Matthew 12:2-14

2ButG1161 when the PhariseesG5330 sawG1492 it, they saidG2036 to himG846, BeholdG2400, thyG4675 disciplesG3101 doG4160 that whichG3739 it isG1832 notG3756 lawfulG1832 to doG4160 onG1722 the sabbathG4521. 3ButG1161 he saidG2036 to themG846, Have yeG314 notG3756 readG314 whatG5101 DavidG1138 didG4160, whenG3753 heG846 was hungryG3983, andG2532 theyG3326 that were with himG846; 4HowG4459 he entered intoG1525G1519 the houseG3624 of GodG2316, andG2532 ateG5315 the showbreadG740G4286, whichG3739 it wasG2258 notG3756 lawfulG1832 for himG846 to eatG5315, neither forG3761 them whoG3326 were with himG846, butG1508 onlyG3441 for the priestsG2409? 5OrG2228 have yeG314 notG3756 readG314 inG1722 the lawG3551, thatG3754 on the sabbathG4521 the priestsG2409 inG1722 the templeG2411 profaneG953 the sabbathG4521, andG2532 areG1526 blamelessG338? 6ButG1161 I sayG3004 to youG5213, ThatG3754 in this placeG5602 isG2076 one greater thanG3187 the templeG2411. 7ButG1161 ifG1487 ye had knownG1097 whatG5101 this meanethG2076, I will haveG2309 mercyG1656, andG2532 notG3756 sacrificeG2378, ye wouldG302 notG3756 have condemnedG2613 the guiltlessG338. 8ForG1063 the SonG5207 of manG444 isG2076 LordG2962 evenG2532 of the sabbathG4521. 9AndG2532 when he had departedG3327 from thereG1564, he wentG2064 intoG1519 theirG846 synagogueG4864: 10AndG2532, beholdG2400, there wasG2258 a manG444 who hadG2192 his handG5495 witheredG3584. AndG2532 they askedG1905 himG846, sayingG3004, Is it lawfulG1487G1832 to healG2323 on the sabbathG4521? thatG2443 they might accuseG2723 himG846. 11AndG1161 he saidG2036 to themG846, WhatG5101 manG444 shall there beG2071 amongG1537 youG5216, thatG3739 shall haveG2192 oneG1520 sheepG4263, andG2532 ifG1437 itG5124 shall fallG1706 intoG1519 a pitG999 on the sabbathG4521, will heG2902 notG3780 lay holdG2902 on itG846, andG2532 lift it outG1453? 12How muchG4214 thenG3767 is a manG444 better thanG1308 a sheepG4263? ThereforeG5620 it is lawfulG1832 to doG4160 goodG2573 on the sabbath daysG4521. 13ThenG5119 saithG3004 he to the manG444, Stretch outG1614 thyG4675 handG5495. AndG2532 he stretched it outG1614; andG2532 it was restoredG600 as wholeG5199, asG5613 the otherG243.

14ThenG1161 the PhariseesG5330 went outG1831, and heldG2983 a councilG4824 againstG2596 himG846, howG3704 they might destroyG622 himG846.1
